“Base Loaded” doesn’t get the 8-bit love of its contemporaries like “RBI Baseball,” “Baseball Stars” or even “Little League Baseball.” One noteworthy feature from “Bases Loaded” was you could charge the mound after being hit by pitch. In fact it might be the only baseball game where you can do this, unless I’m mistaken.

If memory serves the best hitter in the game was the Philly slugger named “Oko.”

The NES version did not include, thankfully, beard tugs. I’m sure an 8-bit recreation is only a few days away should the Sox win the Series.
